The saga of the Yolanda survivors hasn’t ended yet.
“A joint government-nongovernmental organization report said that ore than 2.6 million survivors of Typhoon Yolanda remain at risk and without durable shelter close to eight months after the powerful storm devastated the central Philippines,” reports the Philippine News Agency on InterAksyon.com.
The group called the Shelter Cluster noted “the urgent need to build better housing for survivors with the onset of this year’s typhoon season.”
Meanwhile, the United Nations also reported that, of the US$178 million needed for shelter for Yolanda-affected areas, only around 42% or US$74.7 million, has been used as of this month.
